Comment (by phoudoin):

 The "Language Error Language Error" is, as suspected, returned by your
 printer as manufacturer and product strings, hence the USB port name
 entry. Now a sexy port name indeed, but as we have no way to detect the
 descriptor string request failed, we can't even fallback to USB IDs static
 table to find a better port name.

 Anyway, this should not block the port usage, as that's just a naming
 issue.
 If you select this broken port name, does it actually print on it?

 I will be really surprised if it does, as I fear that such printer
 actually needs a firmware to be loaded over USB first in order to do the
 job...
